Pakati Primary students enjoying a Day Trip!

Hi everyone!

On Friday 27th October, a number of students & staff from Pakati Primary school set off at 6am heading to Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, for a visit to 3 different places.

They arrived in Harare around 8am, bought some breakfast for everyone which they ate before heading off to Imba Shiri Bird Park.

They spent from 10am to 12 noon there, with a tour and some horse rides. After this, they set off for Heroes Acre, a monument & memorial to those who played a role in the Zimbabwean war of Independence.

Soon after 2pm, they set off for their final part of the day, Long Chen Plaza. Here they had their lunch, and played until 5pm

Looks like they had a great time! Departing from Harare around 5pm, they arrived back at Pakati at 7pm. My thanks to Mr Mahachi for the photos & information.
